Blog Software as Web Site Software?

  • 4 Mar, 2005

So, as I’m thinking of a new site design and layout, I’m toying with the idea of dropping everything into the blog. I mean WordPress now has pages, it has a template system, comments and is very SEO friendly. It seems like a good idea, however I’m not so sure it’s the best idea. I […]

Inernet Explorer 7. Fix more than security please.

  • 23 Feb, 2005

When I heard the news about the upgrade to Internet Explorer I first laughed. Microsoft had no plans on releasing a stand alone version until now. The only reason they are updating is because of security issues and maybe some Firefox envy. Since this is a number upgrade, I’ve been thinking about it and hoping […]

Large Companies and their Websites

  • 18 Feb, 2005

I was searching around the other day looking at larger companies websites and I have to say I was quite disappointed at what I saw. Quite a few major sites don’t care about what’s outside their main web design. And to me, that’s just plain laziness and it detracts from the quality of their site. […]

New Flash Based Netscape.com

  • 17 Feb, 2005

They launched a new netscape.com and it’s almost all in Flash! It’s amazing that such a large company would use a format that wasn’t as search engine friendly as HTML. At the same time, it’s good that someone is showcasing what Flash can do. It’s not all about moving things around the screen. What they […]

WordPress 1.5 is now out and I’ve been playing around with it all day on another site. There is a much nicer default theme and some other nice advancements along with a few things that just don’t look right. This blog will be upgrading in the next week or so and I’m not sure what […]

Every day someone comes along with a new site that helps you do something new. Well lately I’ve found a few sites that I like and find useful so I thought I’d share. Technorati – Mainly blog posts, this site has the most up to date information available. Search for something that was on TV […]

Firefox Themes – What’s Next

  • 4 Feb, 2005

I’ve never been a fan of Firefox themes seeing as there weren’t many good ones, or they didn’t work well on a Mac. However I’ve been trying more lately and I found a sweet one! Plastikfox Nuvola is a nice combination of colorful and well done icons with nice very light gray backgrounds. It’s very […]

OmniOutliner Review

  • 28 Jan, 2005

Organization. It’s not one of my stronger features but I’m trying. Lately I’ve been using OmniOutliner to keep track of random notes and messages. This works better than Stickys but I still use them to. At home I have OmniOutliner 2 and at work I have OmniOutliner 3. Version 2 is much simpler and uses […]

Creation of MacThemes includes Me

  • 21 Jan, 2005

As I was checking out the sites (via RSS) that I do on a daily basis I came across the history of MacThemes.net. I skimmed though the article on how the basis for the site was thought up and created and what did I see? Me! 😀 They were nice enough to mention my brief […]

Technorati Tags

  • 17 Jan, 2005

Technorati announced Tags the other day. It is a way to categorize blog posts so others can easily find them. Systems like WordPress already have tags in the form of categories, however you can add more tags if you want. It’s really a simple idea, however I’m not having the best results getting some blogs […]
